Not every operating system has the same demands, and not every operating system requires 1GHz of processing in order to do everything.

- NO meego device before year end (probably early 2011 with Nokia habits of shipping 3-4month late and being a new product and all)

- NO discussion about OVI store, which kinda sucks when you compare it to.. well.. any other phone store. I've a nokia and I use OVI store, I know how bad it is.

- NO discussion about games, which also kinda sucks, even thus N8 is supposed to be so much 3D powerful

- NO discussion on OVI maps, is it going to stay free like Google's, etc

- NO discussion on OVI services, like share, and friends. Again, I use OVI and I can tell you, the consumer service is **$$ùù DOWN minimum once a week, which sucks big time when you're uploading a pic to it.]]>Aug 6th 2010 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/
1.(Meego) he did not say no meego phone before the end of the year, in fact we should be seeing them at nokia world, could still be some out for christmas.

2 (Games) are 3rd party stuff why the hell would he be talking about them he works for nokia , and there are already many EA, Gamesloft RovioMobile games on nokia phones, with more to come i bet.
And yes the Nokia N8 does have a Broadcom BCM2727 GPU so it the most powefull GPU in any phone right now.

3(OVI map) He also did not say they where going to start charging money for it . so its still going to be free for life it looks like.

4(OVI services) the Ovi store 2.0 revamp is just about done (look for videos) i am guessing you will see more about the other services updates soon.]]>Aug 6th 2010 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/1- Agree
2- About Ovi Store. A new version supposed to be available with N8 (Nativly running).
3- NFS and few couple games have been leaked that is should be available to S^3
4- As long as Google map in Android stays free.
5- Ovi is a nice concept ruined by Nokia. Nothing further I need to say about it.

On other hand, "Android is run by Google... we're not prepared to hand over our destiny to a third-party on that one."
This is not the truth.
Nokia wants to keep earning money after selling their phones. You know, in this way they could even make a better strategy into providing OS Upgrade/Cut their mobiles price and such through OVI Store services. Using Android means handling this money to Google for free.

I can see that, if Google gave mobile companies a split from Android market revenue. All of them will change the ship to Android. Thats not all, but providing up to date Android OS. Because after all, now they are going to profit from old phones they sold.

Actually, I hope Nokia consider this point and open OVI store to others. They will earn and others will earn too. [Or if Google employees read this, I hope they consider it]]]>Aug 6th 2010 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/
Yeah, that's a pretty blind comment. If u have ever used a Nokia smartphone, u would be very surprised by how light the OS is on the CPU even compared to today's smartphones. It is also a reason why they have such fantastic battery life.

I am still using my E71 as my main device which still receives frequent updates three years after its release. Have you ever sat there waiting for a Blackberry 9700 (or any other BB for that matter) to boot? It takes ages with that stupid hourglass!!!

The phones simply don't need super fast processors and they are amazingly nimble. I watch my fare share of videos on the phone and it doesn't have issues with that either. My E71 has been a great little phone and I am almost certain that I will be replacing it with another Nokia down the line. The iPhone 4 has certainly caught my attention, however, I am not willing to sign myself into a 3 year contract (in Canada) for a more expensive plan when my existing device does absolutely everything I need of it.

I will say however, that Nokia really needs to pick up the pace and I am counting the days for the new MeeGo devices and doubly more for their new E-Series smartphones. They are built S O L I D.]]>Aug 6th 2010 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/

The N8 was laggy even if it was running symbian^3 at 680. I will not bother talking about the interface that is starting to look very old. I've owned a symbian before and believe me the difference between android is like night and day, android is much more intuitive, the menus are much more logical, different Widgets size, almost everything is customizable...etc. I'm not the only one saying that and many of my friends have switched to android for the same reason.]]>Aug 6th 2010 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/So you think that a preproduction device will run faster than a device already on the market.
Worse still you think that the Java VM laden android is faster than a symbian device. That sir, makes you laughable]]>Aug 6th 2010 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/
The Hero has occasional lagging, with the unlock animation for instance, so no, it's not that smooth.]]>Aug 7th 2010 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/Aug 7th 2010 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/1. MeeGo will be the most powerful mobile OS on the market (i.e. a full desktop class Linux distro with true multitasking all part of it's natural DNA). Oh, and a mature OS - this is the 6th release of the base OS (i.e. Meamo 6). Why settle for Androids cut down OS when you have arguably a more mature technically superior alternative?

2. iOS and Android are great products but not everybody wants them. People still like choice.

3. Nokia are still the number 1 mobile phone maker in the world. (It's not all doom and gloom!).

4. Investments in the future platform is already many years in progress (i.e. Maemo and QT).

5. A product low-mid and product mid-high strategy is still viable (think Toyota and Lexus).

6. Nokia have some catching up to do and improve some earlier mistakes! (Ovi, increased Apps, general QA on its high end product releases). They are more than aware of these.

Either way, it will be an interesting year - Android 3.0, MeeGo, Win7 and eventually iOS5 . .]]>Aug 7th 2010 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/

Then i guess im normal,
btw - i like apple because its just works, each to their own but i have never used a better touchscreen than the iphone 4's.

I am a multi-platform software developer myself (Mac OS and Win) and we use iMac's, Mac Pros and Mac Book pro's at work. Out of a batch of 30 Mac Book Pros, about 20 of them required a Logic board change just after a year from purchase and almost all of them had batteries that puffed out within 1.5~2 years a lot of them almost about the same time. The puffed battery caused the track pad to stop working. Apple had to send a service engineer to our workplace to check all of them and replace batteries. Three iMac's has their Power supply circuits fried out recently and my own iMac works fine with windows, but Tiger and Leopard both cause it to hang up with the spinning wheel or do all sorts of weird behavior. I have checked the internals of many of these computers and they are as badly put together as a Dell or HP. We had far fewer instances of our HP computers going bad although they are no better in how they are put together. My own HP workstation survived for 6 years with multiple upgrades to ram and HDD. In any case, If you want to blow your money on sub standard branded computer whether they are apple or dell, be my guest, I would rather assemble my own rig with care and install whatever OS I want to run. As for laptops, I would rather buy a $800 Dell or Acer lappy three times rather than blowing $2000 on an apple one only to find that they are as bad as Dell.]]>Aug 7th 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/i guess im luky with my apple

i also much prefer the apple os to windows it feels snapier, it looks better (each to their own) search it great, it hardly ever crashes (unless using flash), it dosent have a stupid start menu and applacation hardly never need installig (just a drag and drop proccess)... btw i have an - eee pc, macbook pro, custom built (with most asus parts) and a hp laptop - out of all these i use the apple the most.]]>Aug 7th 2010 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/srry bout spelling - typing with 1 hand]]>Aug 7th 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/nokias-vp-talks-n8-meego-milestone-product-tablets-android/
